Thank you Marcos sounds like very interesting work- As such, our group is focusing initially on creating a Serial API that > would be suitable for use in a Web browser. yep, I think I forwarded a post of yours to our list > We are basing the design on the extensive knowledge/experience of the > nodejs community. > uhmmmm. are the nodejs the main target user group for the api? I'd say, when you are ready, we could help to profile the user base for this project, and perhaps organise focus groups on selected aspects of the api architecture. > > > Is there anything we can do to make the sensor web more > > accessible/useful? > > Well, the fact that the browsable web can’t access any sensors without > having to go through some intermediary is a problem.

If you are, then I eed to do more homework before working more on this if so, that's the missing link to the semantic web. then we can have the vision finally up. > > > Is anyone here working on something related and interested in > collaboration to devise/implement interfaces for the semantic sensor web? > > > > As above.
